Seattle’s landmark burger joint Dick’s Drive-In and the 1904 Wallingford Center are both neighborhood institutions. Wallingford Playfield has tennis courts, wading pool, picnic and play areas, while Gas Works Park is perfect for kite flying. Wallingford Steps is a great place to take in amazing city skyline views.

Nearby, the Burke-Gilman trail is popular with bikers and walkers. There is always something to do in Wallingford – the Garden Tour in June, the SEAFAIR Kiddies Parade & Street Fair in July and the Home Tour in October.

The Wallingford Center hosts a Wednesday Farmer’s Market (May through September). The first Wednesday of May through October there is also a neighborhood ArtWalk.
